Abstract

[Knowledge needs]: In 1995 a reference document on ammonia was published. Ever since, new national and international knowledge has been published on adverse effects of ammonia on (semi) natural ecosystems. However, within the agricultural community there are still a lots of doubts on the evidence that is supporting these adverse effects. [Research objectives]: The aim of this project is to contribute to a reference report, to be compiled, edited and published by the MNP that: - Provide the state of the art knowledge on adverse effects of ammonia and the necessarily emission reductions to recover and/or preventing from adverse effects. - Harmonise the information on the new manure policy and the relation between critical nitrogen load. [Results and products]: The main expected project results are: - A contribution to a reference report - A contribution to a workshop - A publication in an agricultural journal
